Researching bias tape machines

For the past few weeks, I’ve been researching bias tape machines. I do believe I’ve found one that I actually like. Angela Wolf talks about the Simplicity Bias tape machine in her video, which I’ve included below.

A bias tape machine would have come in handy when I was making gift bags for my daughter’s class, since I would have made enough tape to serve as a ‘cord’ for the drawstring bags that I created.

Once you’ve made your bias tape, you can use it to finish raw edges, decorative feature or you can use it in quilting. The above video shows you how to sew bias binding onto a curved seam. Enjoy!
